RESUME
EXPERIENCE
Technology Expert for Patent Infringement,
September 2001 – Present
 Title: Technology Expert for Patent Infringement
Providing world-class expertise and experience in working with leading law firms, providing expert witness services, prior art searching, and related consulting for patent infringement, trade secret disputes, and related matters. Among areas of expertise are speech and audio processing, signal compression, DSP, telecommunications, algorithms, software, and implementation. Served as expert witness & consulted Woodcock Washburn on behalf of Microsoft in VoIP & voice compression patent infringement dispute filed by AT&T. Served also as expert witness on behalf of TruePsition Inc. (represented by Woodcock Washburn) against Andrew Corp. on U-TDOA based cellular telephone location patent infringement case. Jury found that Andrew Corp. (represented by Kirkland & Ellis John Desmarais' team) has willfully infringed TruePosition's patent, granted TruePosition full damages, and rejected Andrew's "fraud" counter claim.
Compandent, Inc., Santa Barbara CA,
February 2001 – Present
Title: President & CTO
Starting and running a company for DSP and speech coding and R&D and implementation, and licensing of software and intellectual property. Developped many proprietary algorithms and solutions, serving clients all over the world. R&D projects implementations and contributions to the US DoD & NATO MELPe secure voice standard.
DSP Communications, Israel ,
January 1994 - September 1995
Title: Speech
Coding Group Leader
Researching and developing a proprietary multi-rate speech
coder at 4-8 kbps. The project included C simulations for
floating-point and fixed-point arithmetic as well as Vector-Quantizer
(VQ) design for each rate and research of various LSP quantizers.
Leading the development and implementation of PDC's PSI-CELP
and VSELP standards on the company's chipset
(masked on TI's TMS320c54x). Developing a noise-canceller
for digital-cellular phone. The PDC chipset has become the
flag ship of the company. Oded's contribution was the key
in turning DSP Communications, from a poor company
in 1994, into a very successful one, leading
to a $1.6 billion acquisition by Intel.
Optibase - VCON,
Israel,
April - December 1993
Title: Audio
Group Manager
Researching and developing a proprietary Acoustic-Echo-Canceller
(AEC) for teleconferencing and multi-media applications. Implementation
of digital-coding system which combined G.728, G.722 and AEC.
Company's
Co-Advisor for Technion IIT's students project.
Co-advising Prof.
David Malah's students at the Technion, Israel, who were
engaged in a project of implementing the CELP+ algorithm,
sponsored by Optibase.
AT&T
Bell Labs, Murray
Hill ,
January - September 1992
Title: DSP
Consultant
Writing the M.Sc.'s degree thesis in the Signal Processing
Research Department in the area of LD-CELP wideband speech
coding at 32 kbps. The project included research, design,
development and implementation of the coder on AT&T SURFboard
using two AT&T WE DSP32C DSPs in parallel processing manner.
Vibration Specialty Corporation:
Philadelphia, PA ,
January 1991 - August 1995
Title: DSP
Consultant
Development and implementation of the real-time DSP software
for the SpectraViB,
a 4-channel spectrum analyzer and data collector.
Efrat - Comverse
Technology, Israel,;
October 1989 - September 1990
Title: DSP
Engineer of Trilogue voice mail system.
Comverse's Trilogue message management systems have DSP boards
that interface between the upper level software and the telephony
boards. The real time DSP software includes various DSP algorithms,
as well as the control for the telephony board, and a speech
recognition module.
Function
: Designed and implemented Digital Signal Processing algorithms
using the Texas-Instruments TMS320c25 and the NEC µPD77p25
processors. The DSP software included speech coding, tones
detections in presence of voice and noise, tones generation,
ring detection, FAX communications, etc. The software handled
several channels simultaneously.
Managed
the hardware - software integration cooperating with the
hardware engineers and the upper software's programmers.
Developed
IBM PC software using C, PASCAL and Assembly. All algorithms
were developed simulated and optimized using original IBM
PC software. Also, wrote design and analysis utilities for
the service staff.
Analysis
and synthesis using professional DSP and mathematical
software such as Xwaves+, MatLab, Hyper Signal, ILS, and DFDP.
Optisk Laboratorium: Copenhagen, Denmark ,
July - September 1988
Title: Summer
Associate
Optisk Laboratorium manufactures optical filters. This process
is done using big and noisy evaporation chamber. It is operated
using a highly noisy output curve, which reflects the optical
filter's layers. In order to control this process automatically,
Oded built some hardware and wrote software for filtering
and predicting the curve. The estimated curve was used for
switching the control of the evaporation process.
Engineering College: Beer-Sheva, Israel ,
May - June 1988
Title: Instructor
Computers
IBM PC (under Windows XP/2K/NT/98/95/3.1, DOS and Linux), SUN (under Unix/Solaris),
VAX (under VMS), and Macintosh
Experience includes programming in: C++, C , PASCAL, FORTRAN,
various Assembly languages and BASIC
